Darwin AustraliaCosmopolitan Flair Meets Australian Outback

The vibrant cosmopolitan city is located on the far northern coast, right on the edge of the Timor Sea. The tropical climate and the ocean and beaches encourage an outdoor lifestyle that is hard to beat...

Its closeness to Asia makes Darwin a hub for international and domestic air travel, and it is an important port.

With a population of 120,000 Darwin in Australia is small for a city, which makes it easy to get around. It also makes for a relaxed atmosphere.

I'm not a city person, but I love Darwin. This is a place where you don't get funny looks if you start a conversation with a stranger in a pub. Nobody beeps the horn impatiently when you hesitate, approaching an intersection while trying to decipher the signs. Even the rush hour traffic seems relaxed...

Although you are in a city you are still in the Australian Outback... In Darwin you can enjoy all the benefits of a city: museums, cultural events, shopping malls and fine dining. But you will also see many four wheel drives on the roads, and come across quirky Outback characters. The people are genuine, open and friendly.

They also speak their mind and are known to drink a lot of beer... Hey, give us a break. It does get hot in Darwin...
